At Southernish, our Personal Chef service brings the restaurant experience to your home (or to our culinary studio) so you can have a fun and relaxing event with your friends and family.

You can now host your personal chef experience at our place! Our culinary studio in Downtown Lemont is a great location to host your event. Contact us to learn more.

How it works, the basics:

1-    It starts with a consultation phone call! We discuss and ultimately design a culinary experience tailored to you and your guests.

2-    We develop a menu based off your preferences, and then collaborate with you to create a menu unique to your event.

3-    We do all the leg work, and arrive at your home with our supplies and ingredients.

4-    We cook in your kitchen and serve you and your guests. Yup, even as the host you get to enjoy the experience as a guest.

5-    We clean up! We leave the kitchen as we found it, we clean the dishes, glasses, etc used during the meal. 

Because of the personalized nature of our events, we recommend contacting us directly to discuss pricing.

*Please note Sunday- Thursday event minimum 2-4 diners, Friday- Saturday event minimum 6 or more diners required. Due to the opening of our culinary studio, availability for our in-home experiences is limited and requires booking further in advance. While we hold a limited amount of dates for this service, those dates fill well in advance.
